“I’ve changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas, written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone’s heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky.When those we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while. But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again.And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind or heart.I find that my parents, who died years ago, still linger (留连) in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on. It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence has been to face the aggressors(入侵者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, which gives me pause. I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword and my darling from the power of the God.” Yet I know death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live together, but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today. 小题1:According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ________.A.puts forward the subject of the text | B.shows the author’s pity on the kid | C.serves as an introduction to the discussion | D.makes a clear statement of the author’s views | 小题2:In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us ________.A.how much he misses his parents now | B.why his parents often appear in his dream | C.when Lucien will get over all his sadness | D.how proud he was when he succeeded in life | 小题3:In the author’s opinion, the value of a person’s life is ________.A.to leave a precious memory to the people related | B.to have a high sense of duty to the whole society | C.to care what others will remember and treasure | D.to share happiness and sadness with his family | 小题4:What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem?A.Call on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns. | B.Advise parents to stay with their children safely at home. | C.Spend every day meaningfully in memory of death. | D.Try to keep violence and murder far away from society. |

A This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend(超越) it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 小题1:From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.A.everybody has problems | B.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life | C.life is difficult because our problems bring us pain | D.people like to complain about their problems | 小题2: The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.A.save space | B.persuade readers | C.make readers laugh | D.get readers’ attention | 小题3:The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ______.A.most people feel life is easy | B.the writer feels life is easy | C.the writer likes to complain about his problems | D.most people complain about how hard their lives are | 小题4: According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to______.A.encourage them to learn | B.teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem | C.help them learn to deal with pain | D.teach them how to respect from problems | 小题5:The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that ______.A.we do not learn from experience | B.we do not learn when we are in pain | C.pain teaches us important lessons | D.pain cannot be avoided |

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts (路标)or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles(阻碍). In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential(基本的) to our ability to grow. These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal(内部的) fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease(停止) to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making. 小题1:.A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when______..A.he has given up his smoking habit | B.he has made great efforts in his work | C.he is interested in making anything new | D.he has tried to determine where he is on his journey | 小题2:.In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would______.A.judge his ability to grow from his own achievements | B.succeed in climbing up the social ladder | C.face difficulties and take up challenges | D.aim high and reach his goal each time | 小题3:.When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to _____. A.a new way of taking risks | B.a new approach to experiencing the world | C.a new system of adapting to change | D.a new method of finding ourselves | 小题4:.For personal growth, the author may not support __________. .A.curiosity and more chances | B.being quick in self – adaptation | C.open – minded to new experiences | D.avoidance of internal fears and doubts |

I once had a teacher whose husband died suddenly of heart attack.About a week after his death, she some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.As the late afternoon sunlight shone the classroom windows, and when the class was nearly over, she a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down. With a look on her face,she paused and said,“ class is over,I’d like to share with all of you a deep which I feel is very important.Each of us is put here on to learn,share,love,appreciate and give of ourselves. of us knows when this fantastic experience will .It can be taken away at any moment.Perhaps this is the God’s of telling us that we must make the of every single day.” Her eyes were beginning to ,but she went on,“So I would like you all to make me a :From now on,on your way to school,or on your way home,find something beautiful to .It doesn"t have to be something you see.It could be a of freshly baked bread floating out of someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the soft rustling(沙沙作响)the leaves in the trees….Please look for these things, and them,for at anytime it can all be taken away.’’ The class was completely .We all picked up our books and went out of the room silently.That ,I observed many more beautiful things on my way home from school than usual.
